The Dream That Stopped on the Road lyrics

It took me years just to find you there Through broken promises and love's despair When you arrived, the world made sense Like life rebuilt its own defense Your laugh was home, your touch was ground You calmed the wars I carried around I told myself I'd learned to live But fate was writing what it wouldn't forgive It was just another ordinary night I was waiting for your headlights Never knowing the sky was falling Before I could read the signs And the dream stopped on the highway At a light that never turned green My future froze in a moment Where forever should have been You were driving to bring me life And I lost them both at once My only dream interrupted Now it echoes in the dust They said he was a broken man Drunk, shattered, no steady hand He had just buried his own family And crossed our path in tragedy I tried to hate the world that night Tried to blame the stars for the fight But nothing brings you back to me Nothing rewrites destiny Then they told me about the surprise You were carrying in your heart Another heartbeat growing quietly Right before it all fell apart And the dream stopped on the highway At a light that never turned green My future froze in a moment Where forever should have been You were driving to bring me life And I lost them both at once My only dream interrupted Now it echoes in the dust Now I live between photographs And conversations left undone Between words that never had a chance And the father I'd have become I was whole when you would smile Now I only survive the days The love I waited years to find Lasted just long enough to break If there's a place where time won't hurt Hold our dream for me up there I'm still here trying to breathe But part of me never left that road And the dream stopped on the highway At a light that never turned green My future froze in a moment Where forever should have been You were driving to bring me life And I lost them both at once My only dream interrupted Now it echoes in the dust And the dream stopped on the highway At a light that never turned green My future froze in a moment Where forever should have been You were driving to bring me life And I lost them both at once My only dream interrupted Now it echoes in the dust
